The Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund kicked off the new year with a General Meeting held Sept. 12 at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe.

The event featured guest speaker Sandra Espinet, an accomplished interior designer and author of “The Well-Traveled Home.” Espinet draws inspiration from her extensive travels to South America, Northern Africa, Europe and Asia.

The Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund “was established in November 2004 as a way for members to join together in meaningful and engaging ways to give back to the greater San Diego community. The RSF Women’s Fund, a donor advised fund of the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, has 112 members; and since its inception in 2004, has awarded grants totaling nearly over $3 million.”
